of the United stn.es. Irrnsneetlve of
their poverty, wealth or social stand-
Inc. ft military trnlntmr. It Is onlv the
truth to say that tho proposal has
grown In favor In congress since It bo-
came so cleorlv manifest that the Ice-
Islntlon In Its effect would bo so broad-
ly democratic. This means that no
young man, no matter what his fain-
lly's position, power or wealth, could
escapo what the young man without
money, power or nosltlon must ulvc
to his country.
It is not at nil llkelv tlmt universal
military training will hecorno a fact
ln this country for some little time.
It Is, however,; entirely within the
possibilities that the senate will pass
tho mensuro nt this session. It in
known definitely thnt some of tho ad-
visors of tho administration have
changed their minds about tho legls-
latlon. Originally they wero opposed
to it and now thev are In fnvor of It.
There are men hero ready to predict
that if tho senate shall pass tho mens-
lire, although there is no hope that the
house will act nt this session, thnt
President Wilson next yenr will sug-
gest universal military training In his
address to congress.
Hearinn. o fr Rm- ti
ti, 0,,i..,..ni., nt i. o
committee on military affairs has been
holding hearings on universal military
training ror n long time. Opponents
nn.l nwmnnnnfo fl, ,nnJ,L !..,
been appearing dally to give their
views. There Is In Washington an
organization called the American
T7ninn AnninBt xtnit,iB, ti.i0
trnnlrnflftn la nnnncnil in imluntionl
military training. It has Just had Its
hearing before tho sen n to subcommlt
teo. Tho organization produced somo
physical training experts, a number of
.. . . ' . .
college students, some general educa
tors, some rcprescntntlves of "par
cnts' associations," nnd some former en
listed men of tho regular army to bear
ovldenco ngnlnst tho necessity of unl
vcrsnl military training.
Unquestionably tho renson for tho
growth of favor of tho measuro In
Washington Is due to tho dlfllculty In
getting volunteer recruits either for
tho regulnr nrmy or for tho National
Qunrd. The last nrmy bill passed by
congress haB not mot tho expectations
of tho men who supported It. They
say so. George R. Chamberlain, Demo-
crntlc senator from Oregon, but who
Is n nntlvo of Mississippi, has JiiHt
made n statement declaring thnt a real
understanding of U10 bill nnd what It
will do will cause Us opponents to
change their minds on tho subject of
universal military training.

RESCUED IN MEXICO CSY
SEARCHING PARTY.
ONE TOO WEAX TO TRAVEL
Army Aviators, Who Have Been Miss
ing for Nine Days, Wore Within
Thirty Miles of the Border When
Searching Party Arrived.
Welltou, Ariz., Jan. IT-. After n
tramp of nine days acrons the Sonora
desert, Lieutenant Itobertxnu nud Lieu
tenant Colonel Bishop, the missing
United Slates army aviators who have
been lost since Wednesday u week ago,
were found by a searching party of
the New Cornelia Copper company
about thirty miles south of the Mexi
can border- and about sixty miles south
of here. Lieutenant Itoberthon was
brought here In the afternoon by auto,
but Lieutenant Colonel Illshop wns so
weak that he could not bo moved from
where the pair were found.
Lieutenant Robertson said that he
nnd Lieutenant Colonel Bishop lauded
about 12:30 o'clock Wednesday nt a
point In Mexico about 200 miles south
of tho Arlzonn border. Taking the
water out of the rudlutor of the air
plane the two army olllccrs started to
tramp northward across the desert.
They husbanded their wuter as best
they could. They had reached n point
'M miles south of the International line
when they encountered the searching
party from the copper company.
Lieutenant Ilobertson said that
when he and Lieutenant Colonel Bish
op left San Diego he set his courso
for Calexlco by the cnnpuss.. There
seemed to have been a deviation of
the instrument and also a drift of air
currents which threw him off his
course.
The two aviators were found ln tho
AJo mountains, 00 miles south of Well
ton, at ten o'clock Thursday mornlug
by a searching pnrty composed of Win
Held 1'axton, G. A. Gamble and It. S.
Hovattor. Ilobertson, when discov
ered, was staggering along nil but
dead und unable to talk much. lie
said that ho and Colonel Bishop hnd
landed at 12::50 o'clock In the after
noon of the dny they left San Diego.
They deserted their machine ln a bar
ren waste of country und sturted to
wander In the direction which seemed
to them would the sooner bring them
to civilization.
Dny after day and night after night
the two army aviators traveled, sub
slstlng on the food they carried with
them, which was so scant It lasted but
a llttlo time.
On last Wednesday Bishop became
so weak he could walk no further. lie
told Robertson ho hnd better go on
and save himself if Jie could. Robert
son bade his comrade good-by nnd left
him to what he thought would be his
fate. Ho hud walked 80 miles from
tho point where he left Bishop when
picked up. Immediately after he was
rescued a party was dispatched for
Bishop and' another rescue party was
sent out from Yuma by Colonel Wil
son of the Fourteenth Infantry. It will
bo necessary to carry Bishop 12 miles
from tho mountain fastness where ho
Is located to a conveyance.

"We want to warn tho wcnthcrcock.
In the White House that It may not
prove safe. Suppression of the volco
of discontent leads to nssasslnntlon."
"Vide Russia," read the article writ
ten March 4, 1010, In protest of alleged
federal suppression of free speech In
unicago and New York.
"I will connect Mooney with this
conspiracy by letters in his own
writing and by r-flcles lie wrote ln

plnuned to create n prejudice against
